The Young Women's Leadership School of Queens was a prominent experience of mine that embraced the need to prosper as young women in the real world. The College Bound Initiative program taught me the importance of pushing yourself beyond the limits to achieve the very best. What I enjoyed the most about my experience was the environment that teachers fostered within the classes that promoted that supportive student-to-teacher interaction. In addition, my college counselor was extremely encouraging and considerate and gave useful advice towards the college process. She emphasized the need for fostering great networking branching skills outside of school to build character and essential skills such as communication and leadership.
What I hope to change about The Young Women's Leadership School is the resource capability. Although very small, I wish to instill more clubs and activities of all areas and in addition, implement a wider variety of AP courses for all.

As a student who will be entering her 7th year at this school, I have to say that I couldn't have asked it to have been at any other school. I appreciate the students and the teachers I met here. It's a very enriching and prospering environment here at TYWLS of Queens. Every year it is improving and developing to better accumulate and meet the needs of its students.
I believe I've matured these past seven years and I think it's partially due to the support system available here. Although the school is small it does, however, allow the student to be a part of a close-knit sisterhood. I believe that every student who is admitted into this school can have a positive experience if they let their mind be open to taking advantage of the multitude of things available here.
At the end of the day, it depends on the student on how their school is portrayed. If you aren't pleased with your school, it is up to you to voice your opinion, demand, and take action to bring the appropriate changes.

I'm going to be honest. I was a little skeptical about my school at first, after reading the online reviews. However, I can truly say that this is the best public school I've been to out of all the others I've attended. Personally, this school environment makes me feel very safe and confident in myself. Furthermore, the teachers truly care about their students' education, and our principal sincerely wants the best for her students. I'm so glad that I chose to attend this school, and if I were to start this year over - as a transfer student in the 10th grade - I wouldn't change a thing.
